` The improved chartis made up of a casing, within which is slidably arranged a luralit 'of slides. The casing is formed with suitably arranged apertures, and the slides provided wit redetermined data for coperation with t e apertures in the casin and also with openings to determine thedisplay ofdata on other slides through the casing apertures. The' specific article permits the user, ,when the chart has been, adjustedforithe predetermined requisites of the article, to

ave before him data relative to the weight and rices of that particular article, exactly as 1 a thatartic e. This enables the manufacturer to determine without delay all necessary information. for a customer..

Fi 9 and 10, are respectivel opposite face views oan intermediate slide. f';l`he invention is here shown and will be described as designed for a weightiand price 'chart Ain the manufacture of metal rolls, and

comprises a casing l, including opposing s 4, to -thus likel casing, within which t e slides are movable.

In the particular instance shown, the face.

walls are duplicates, each bearing a d grammatic outline of the article for which v4the chart is designed, in this instance a roll as at 5. Within the outline of the body of the roll, the face wall isgformed with an aperture, marked to indicate ythe diameter of the body, and above such body outline, there is formed another aperture 7, marked to indicate the length of the body. Within the outline of thearticle and on the neck andpod portion of the article, the face wall is 'formed with apertures 8 and 9, here shown for convenience as a single aperture, marked respectivel to indicate the diame- Above the opposite neck and pod portion of the outline, the face wall has apertures 10 and 11, indicated for the length of the pod and neck.

Above the roll outline 5, each face-wall is so ter of the neck an podportion of the roll.

formed with an elongated slot 12 marked to indicate the Weight of the roll, this slot being substantially of the length of the rolloutline 5. Immediately below the outline 5, are formed two apertures 13 and 14, the

first markedto indicate the weight of the vnecks and pods of the roll, and `the second marked-to indicate the weight of one inch of the roll'body.

The. apertures so far described will disclose data concerned with the weight and arts thereof, to indicate measurements ofthe roll and but the chart is also ada te ricesbased ontheother etails disclosed.

or thispurpose each face wall is further 'formed with several apertures, more or less groupedbelo'w the outline 5. These price apertures-are here shown asa transversely alined group of four apertures, 15,-16,'17',

and 18, marked respectively to indicate. the

ids- I price of the necking for one roll, in sand, at l5, and in chill, at 16; and the price of turning per pound in sand, at 17, and in chill, at 18. Below the price apertures noted, are transversely alined apertures 19 and 20, indicating the price of rough roll castings, 19 indicating the price in sand per pound, and 20 indicating the price per pound in chill. Below these apertures 19 and 2O is a single aperture 21, marked to indicate the rate per hour for turning grooved or special rolls.

The casing 1 is preferably divided by longitudinal partitions 22, extending inwardly a short distance from the edge Walls 4, to

permit sliding movement ofthe various j slides Without interference. In the present.

adaptation of the invention three slides are provided, a lmain slide 23 and auxiliary slides 24- and 25, the latter being identical, except as to data thereon. T he main slide, Which is positioned between the auxiliary slides, is divided on each surface into a series of vertical columns 26 for Weight data, and a single column 27 for data indicating the length of the roll body. The columns 26 and 27 on the respective sides of l the main slide are for identical uses, except that the data on one side is for rolls Jup vto a certain diameter, as noted on the face wall of the casing, Whilethe data on the opposite side of the main slide is for rolls .above such diameter. A

The columns'27 are so positioned that the data thereon will be visible through the aperture 7 of the face of the casing, that is the' aperture for data indicating the length of the bodyof the roll. The data on the beginning columns 26 of the main slide are to be exposed through the roll-Weight indicating slot 12, in accordance with the position of the particular auxiliary slide, as Will be explained.

The auxiliary slides are in general duplicates, each being formed in the upper por` tion With a series of column-Wide progressively stepped apertures 28, adapted for suc- .cessive registry with the Weightindicating slot 12 of the casing, as the auxiliary slide is progressively adjusted to permit the appropriate data on the columns 26 of the main slide to be visible through such slot 12. The auxiliary slides are also each formed With a column-Wide elongated slot 29, adapted to at all times register with the aperture 7 of the casing, in order that the data of column 27 of the main slide may be visible through such 4aperture 7. The remaining columns 30 on the auxiliary slides are marked with appropriate data to register Withv the remaining apertures in the face Walls of the casing, as such auxiliary slide is adjusted. This data is of course arranged with particular reference' to the article and size indicated through the appropriate apertures, so that for any size noted throughthe appropriate apertures, the data of the re-k maining apertures Will properly correspond. In use, With the various slides in normal positions in the casing, no data will be visible through the apertures of the casing. As: suming that data relative to a roll having a diameter of eight (8) inches throuUh the body and a length of sixteen (16) inc es are required. The auxiliary slide of lower dimensions is first adjusted by longitudinal movement in the casing, as by thumb-piece 31, until the figure 8 appears in the aperture 6. that is the roll-diameter aperture, Whereupon the remaining apertures, except the aperture 7 and slot 12, will expose data on the adjusted slide giving the appropriate information indicated at each slide for this particular roll. The movement of the auxiliary slide has positioned one of the apertures 28 in registry With the slot 12, so that the main slide is exposed. The main slide is no.7 adjusted until the required body length of the roll, that is sixteen (16) inches appears in the -aperture 7. Following this adjustment, the Weight of the particular roll will appear in the slot 12, through the alined aperture 28 of the auxiliary slide, this dat-a being that on the columns 26 ofthe main slide.

'In the present instance` the chart is made up to simulate the article. for which it is designed to indicate, Weight and price, though this is an unessential detail of the present invention. g

The important feature of the invention is the provision, through the adjustment of but tivo slides, of all necessary data in connection with an article having certain predetermined characteristics, that is, inthe resent instance, a. roll of certain length an diameter of body. With the slides adjusted in accordance with these details, all other necessary manufacturing information relative to Weight and cost is automatically disclosed, and hence the time otherwise required to compute this data for each particular roll is saved.

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new, is

1. A price and weight chart having a casing formed in opposed faces with apertures, a main slide within the casing and bearing distinctive groups of data, and auxiliary slides arranged within the casing on each side of the main slide, the auxiliary slides having data to be exposed through the casing apertures and being formed with apertures to cortrol the exposure ofthe data on the main sli e. n

2.v A price and weight chart for standard articles, comprising a casing having a slot marked to indicate the vweight of the article and having apertures marked to indicate the dimensions of the article, and slides operto register data to register with the Weight-indicating slot and wlth one of thedimension-indicating apertures, theother slide having data to register with other dimension-indicating apertures and formed to control the data of the first slide displayed through the Weightindicating slot. l

3. A price andv Weight chart, comprising a casing formed With a slot and aperturesa main slide operable within 4the casin and having'data to .register with one o said apertures and with the slot, and an auxiliary slide operable within the casing and having data to register with' the lremaining apertures, said auxiliary slide having apertures with the slot in any position of such slide to control the data of the main slide exposed through said slot.

4. A price and weight chart for rolls having a casing eating slot, roll-dimension indicating apertures, and price-detail indicating apertures,

of slides a justable within the casing and formed with a roll-Weight indibearing data to be exposed through the dimension-indicating apertures in accordance with the required dimensions of the article, said slides also bearing additional data to be exposed through the Weightindicating slot and price detail apertures in such casing.

5. A chart comprising a casing with defined a ertures to indicate distinct dimensions o an article and a indicate the Weight of the article, a slide having dimension-data to register with one of the dimension apertures of the casing and a series of different weight indications defined aperture to adapted to simultaneously register with the Weight-indicating aperture, and a second slide having dimension data to be registered With the remaining dimension aperture an formed with a slot Init the exposure of a single -one of the Weight indications of the first slide in registry with the Weight indicating aperture.
